Right-wingers cheer for the red team. Little shit like this won't have much affect on them.

Bush paid for an abortion; they defend it. If this is all that's in the returns; he may as well release them.

Independants might. Women who may have to give the appearance that they support the R-wing but really don't might care. He will never lose his base but his base isn't enough to get him elected

ETA: I am Changing my mind, Upon doing further research I think it would be a bad idea to hightlight this company. Disposing of human bio-material properly is a necessary business for our country. And if this company gets pulled into the main stream conversation freaky anti-abortionist will step up their campaign to target this company not Mitt Romney. I read an article from the Huffington Post that they have gone after a company in Richmond, VA that leases the trucks for them to use. No need to hender the operation of a legitmate busniess, and or put vunerable employees like the truck drivers in harms way of these anti-abortionist terrorist. JMO

There's bound to be something more damaging than this.

Hell, I think the fact that he only paid 13% is more damaging than this.

That is what churches believe not just mormons but most Christian organizations believe not tithing 10% is Robbing GOD!

...but a lot of people don't care about that either.

I suppose if we were allowed to dig through his tax returns; there might be a little something for everyone.

A few votes here, a few votes there, and pretty soon your talking about a huge defeat.

Stericycle probably never appeared explicitly on Romney's personal returns because it was a Bain property. But even if it did, it would have been a decade earlier.

The issue is the 2009 return. That is the line he is refusing to cross.
